Okay, what instrument does your child play? 55 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 6: My oldest son primarily plays the bassoon, but for a 56 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 6: marching season and indoor drum line, he played symbols, so 57 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 6: he's on the symbol line. 58 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: I didn't know they still played the bassoon.

This 62 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: might be the generational separator ramon. When we were in school, 63 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: there was a kind of educational cartoon thing they would 64 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: play and it would teach you the different instruments, and 65 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: that's how I knew what a bassoon was. Did y'all 66 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: have that? And they came to life like a stick 67 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: figure insect and they were very charming, and that's how 68 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: we learned all the instruments. I've never known of anybody 69 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: to play the bassoon. How did your child get to 70 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: play in the bassoon. 71 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 5: In middle school. 72 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 6: What they do if they give him an option or 73 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 6: a career path if they want to do art, choir 74 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 6: or or band. And my son had an idea what 75 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 6: instrument he wanted to play, So what they do is 76 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 6: they go around the room to attempt different mouthpieces and 77 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 6: instruments and see what fits the student. And the two 78 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 6: instruments that he chose, apparently his mouth wasn't quite developed 79 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 6: right for that particular mouthpiece. So the instructor asked. 80 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 5: What was his hobbies? 81 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: What did he liked to do? 82 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 6: And she goes, I think I have the instrument for you, 83 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 6: handed him the double read he put in his mouth 84 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 6: and he was able to make a sound out of it, 85 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 6: and she goes, that's it.

So we're 176 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 6: wheeling our props to the other side, and so happened. 177 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 6: We are passing the east side's east side entrance of 178 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 6: the school, and all of a sudden there's a commotion 179 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 6: active shooter, gunshots fire, gunshots fire. Tied Dil and I'm 180 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 6: walking by Joe Sanchez and we look at each other. 181 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 6: We stopped wheeling our props and next thing you know, 182 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 6: we're running. 183 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: To the door. 184 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 6: Followed behind us was Abraham and Polo, and almost in 185 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 6: a way like a see in a movie, how you 186 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 6: have four people stacked on. 187 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 5: Top of each other by ready to clear a room. 188 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 6: Next thing you know, Joe and I are at the door, 189 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 6: I yelled out, I see the gun. Next thing you know, 190 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 6: both Joe and I are inside. Joe is by the 191 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 6: suspect Torso and grabbed his wrists. I'm right next to him. 192 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 6: We're hip to hip. I grabbed his wrists and I 193 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 6: saw the gun, so I started grabbing the gun. By 194 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 6: the time I started to grab the gun, Joe noticed 195 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 6: that I had his wrist as well, so he went 196 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 6: ahead and released his grip to go ahead and start 197 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 6: detaining the suspect to grab his left arm. By that time, 198 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 6: Polo was at his head to secure it. Abram was 199 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 6: at his legs. By that time, I ended up struggling 200 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 6: to get the gun. The magazine was released, the suspect 201 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 6: released the pistol, I went ahead and cleared it, make 202 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 6: sure it was cleared. After it was cleared, I went 203 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 6: ahead and put it behind my belt loop on my 204 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 6: back so I could go ahead and grab the magazine 205 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 6: from the suspects. 206 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 5: At that time, he was struggling with us to. 207 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 6: Either hide the magazine or put it back in his 208 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 6: coat pockets. We struggled for a little bit. Went ahead 209 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 6: and grabbed the magazine. Two loose rounds came out. So 210 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 6: I had a magazine, two loose rounds, and I spent caseine. 211 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 6: And while that was done, Abram was going through his 212 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 6: pockets just to make sure he did having things maybe 213 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 6: a secondary weapon or a knife or anything. And he 214 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 6: was just searching his legs make sure he didn't have 215 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 6: anything at his you know. 216 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 5: His feet. 217 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 3: Uh. 218 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 6: Also, it wasn't just the four of us. There are 219 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 6: also other people, other veterans that were there to help 220 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 6: out as well. The two of them from the Waller area. 221 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 6: One of them was a Marine X Marine, another one 222 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 6: was an Army X and then the administrator from Angleton. 223 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 6: We want to give out a big shout out to 224 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 6: him because initially he's the one that took him down 225 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 6: the first time, and then we just came in and 226 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 6: we followed up and we made sure that he was 227 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 6: disarmed and he was detained. 228 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 5: After. 229 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 6: I do not know you want to say right now. 230 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: With every marine listener out there for saying an ex marine, 231 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: So I just want to say that I wreck. Did 232 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: you see? Yes, you're welcome to say excellent. The Marines 233 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: will lose their mind. They're the best at brand maintenance 234 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: I've ever seen of any organization anywhere. People sign up 235 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: and oh it's incredible. So so what was his what 236 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: was his middle state? Was he screaming anything? Or was 237 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: he resigned to the fact that y'all taking him down? 238 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: What was going on. 239 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 6: When he was down on the ground and we're disarming 240 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 6: him and attempting to detain him, he just kept yelling, 241 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 6: they're trying to shoot me. They're trying to kill me. 242 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 6: They're trying to shoot me. And so we kind of 243 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 6: pause for a second. We're looking around to see, you know, 244 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 6: maybe a potential there was a secondary shooter or something 245 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 6: like that. There was nothing going on, so we continue 246 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 6: to detain him. After we detain them, his wife just 247 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 6: kept saying, he let my husband go, my husband, I 248 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 6: we need to go. 249 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: We need to go. 250 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 6: And she was, you know, starting to become very upset 251 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 6: about it because he was detained by us, and she 252 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 6: wanted to take the husband out of the building and 253 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 6: hop in the car and go home. So they stayed 254 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 6: until passing the MPD showed up and we went ahead 255 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 6: and said, hey, he secured, we didn't need handcuffs. The 256 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 6: officer that was doing the security for the school, unfortunately, 257 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 6: was on the opposite side of the school, so it 258 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 6: took him a little bit to get to where we 259 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 6: were at. So we gave him as much information as 260 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 6: possibly could, and then he ended up handing his handcuffs 261 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 6: to Joe. Joe cuffed him and then there was a 262 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 6: loose phone on the ground. I said nine to one one, 263 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 6: So I went ahead and pick up the cell phone 264 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 6: and I go hello, Hello, and the operator goes hello 265 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 6: and now one one, and I go okay, And so 266 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 6: I'm communicating with the nine to one one operator what's 267 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 6: going on in the situation, if there's any other people 268 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 6: that were involved, And she asked, has anyone hurt, anyone 269 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 6: got shot, And at the time I galed out, anyone 270 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 6: get hurt, anyone gets shot, and there was no answer. 271 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 6: So I told the nine one one operator that no, 272 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 6: no one was injured. But we didn't know that. The 273 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 6: soundtech from the Anglican school the faculty member was shot, 274 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 6: but he ran out of the school and we didn't 275 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 6: know about it.

Okay, all right, so y'all are carrying 345 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: the pla. 346 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 5: Yeah, so it carr the props along the driveway. And 347 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, I see people running out 348 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 5: of the lobby in the back yelling night to shooter, 349 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 5: active shooter, and so immediately I stopped what I'm doing. 350 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 5: I'm running toward the lobby doors. And as I'm running 351 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 5: toward the doors, I see the guy in the ground 352 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 5: with the handgun and another guy on top of him 353 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 5: holding them down, and I assume that's just happened because 354 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 5: no one was trying to take the sussex gun away. 355 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 5: So immediately I run over there and I grab his 356 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 5: arm and I see that he's got his finger and 357 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,959 Speaker 5: they're shtting the trigger guard. Oh something, it's gonna around. 358 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 5: That's why I do it. So I tried to take 359 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 5: the gun out, but then Adam and short up like 360 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 5: with in the second afterwards, he grabbed try to get 361 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 5: the gun as well.

He had 368 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 5: a very strong grip. 369 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: Really, what do you think his mental state was? I mean, 370 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: what would you say he was angry? Would you say 371 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: he was delusional?

You know, general customer, then you 509 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: go to Southwest Airlines, then you go to economy, then 510 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: you go to first class. There may be some people 511 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: it'd be worth looking at. 512 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:19,719 Speaker 5: You know. 513 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: It's like the what was that amazing, amazing flight they 514 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: did it in the seventies, the from US to what Concord. 515 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: I mean, think about this. We're supposed to only be 516 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: moving forward, right Think about the fact that fifty years 517 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: ago they had a plane that could get you across 518 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: the Atlantic in way less time than today, and we're 519 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: taking longer today. That just doesn't make sense. It's crazy. 520 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: But anyway, so I'm hearing from people that the pilots 521 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: are referencing the Gulf of America and people are breaking 522 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: out into which is just fantastic. We don't do breaking 523 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: news on the show, so I'm not going to tell 524 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: you what just happened. The only reason I'm not going 525 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: to is I'll get some smarty email from somebody and 526 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: then I got to block them, and then they wonder 527 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: why they got blocked, and they email from another email 528 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: address begging me to unblock them. I thought you didn't 529 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: do breaking news. Let me explain this to everybody. Understands it. 530 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: If you tune into our show to get the breaking 531 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: news updates as they're happening, you're not. That's not what 532 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: our show does. You can get breaking news on your phone. 533 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: You can get breaking news anywhere, all the time, everywhere, 534 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: all the time. You can get news alerts on your phone. 535 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: You don't need me for that. Okay, that's number one. 536 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: Number two, Just remember this when you get breaking news 537 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: that a conservative white Iraq war veteran has just shot 538 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: up a shopping mall, and then you go, oh, conservative 539 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: white mail just back from Iraq, vot for Trump, shut 540 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: up a shopping mall, And then within a few hours, 541 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: oh no, actually it was a Muslim illegal alien from 542 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: Pakistan who raped eight kids and has been let off 543 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: each time. Oh well, so you got the breaking news. 544 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: Everybody likes to get the breaking news first. I don't 545 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: because you're relying on and therefore validating, quote unquote primary 546 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: news sources, and some of those people are very very biased. 547 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: And what they do is they muddy the water by 548 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: withholding details or providing false details, and that becomes the narrative. 549 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: And that's not what we're about. We are here to 550 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: talk about what has happened and what it means, not 551 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: to just read off news stories. We have news reporters 552 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: at the tops and bottoms of the hour and they 553 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: do that. That's their job. That's the news portion of 554 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: the news talk station. So I'm going to not break 555 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: the news, but I'll tell you anyway, President Trump spoke 556 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: to the Mexican president. They just finished their conversation a 557 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: matter of minutes ago. The Mexican president immediately announce You 558 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: want to know if the tariffs are working. How about this? 559 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: The Mexican president immediately announced the tariffs are going to 560 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: pause for one month. You don't say. Number two, Mexico 561 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: is going to deploy ten thousand troops to the US 562 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: border to help strengthen the border from our side because 563 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: they're all coming in from their side. Increased US efforts 564 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: to curb firearm trafficking into Mexico. I will remind you 565 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: that under Barack Obama, his Attorney General Eric Holder was 566 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: part of a program called which they schemed up called 567 00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: Fast and Furious. The goal was to move guns from 568 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: American gun shops illegally into Mexico, where they would fall 569 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: into or be handed into the hands of the cartels, 570 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: who would kill judges and members of the media and 571 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: maybe some politicians and some cops. Some of those would 572 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: be caught, and here would be the gun. They wouldn't 573 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: bother to file down the serial number. It would be 574 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: traced to a legal sell, a sale that is legal 575 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: in the United States. Missouri is where they caught them. 576 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: And what that would allow the Democrats to do would 577 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: be to impose gun control, limiting your ability to own 578 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: a gun, because you if you get a gun, you're 579 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: just going to give it to the cartel, so we 580 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: can't let you have a gun. I am not a 581 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: tariff proponent. Let me say that a tariff is slapping 582 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: an expense on a product that we import, and as consumers, 583 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,719 Speaker 1: you don't want that because it increases the cost. But 584 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: what nobody, especially the Wall Street journal that's embarrassing themselves 585 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,719 Speaker 1: be clowning themselves with dumbassy in their editorials. These tariffs 586 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: are not going to last. What Trump is doing is 587 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: busting Canada, China, and Mexico across the jaw and saying 588 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to hurt you until you do what I want. 589 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: And everybody's going, oh, no, don't hurt them, don't hurt them. 590 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: If you hurt them, they'll hurt us. No, they're not 591 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: going to hurt us. They've been hurting us for a 592 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: long time. What Trump is doing is putting America first. 593 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: And wow, isn't it nice.
